ScopeUnderstanding and thereby manipulating multimedia content at the semantic level is the only way towards realizing the full potential of emerging digital media technologies aimed at the delivery of compelling multimedia solutions. The integration of knowledge, semantics and low-level multimedia processing for the purpose of automatic semantics extraction from multimedia content is still the subject of active research in academia and industry. The purpose of this event was to bring the relevant academic and media professional societies closer to the latest research and commercial developments providing the opportunity to gain deeper insight into the related research challenges and the ever increasing number of new applications.

SSMS 2008 was attended by 74 students and 30 media professionals. Download the full list of people who participated in SSMS 2008. You can also visit the 'Summer School on Multimedia Semantics 2008' group in Facebook

SSMS has been held on two previous occasions and SSMS2008 built upon the success of these events. A notable novel aspect of this year's programme was the objective to connect multimedia semantics researchers with the professional media sector. To this end, two groups of attendees were catered for: postgraduate students and researchers attending a 5-day programme centred around state-of-the-art technologies and research issues; and professionals attending a 3-day programme explaining the application of semantic technologies to their day-to-day activities. A common day allowed interaction between the two groups for a creative exchange of views.
